Better rest him for the next game, just in case

Quite smart in a way. It’s likely only way to increase Downs’ value - to not play him. Hopefully if no one sees him play football for a while we can build up an aura of mystique and trick someone into taking him off our hands. The less people see of him, the more they’ll believe that he’s a “promising US u21 striker”.

May not have a direct impact, but it definitely shows low standards. Much like renewing the contracts of underperforming players. There is a complete culture of failure

Agree. Gaslighting everyone helps nothing.

It’s horrific Doesn’t suit the players. Doesn’t make us better. Makes for boring games. Can’t stand it. Let alone playing it regardless of what happens on the pitch, against any opposition.

Don’t forget Nathan jones saying he “compromised his principles” etc. Of course he was bat shit, so we kind of ignored him at the time. But I imagine he was hinting at bigger management involvement.

It was a good save. Fair play to him for finally making one. To call it world class is ridiculous lol

What we really need is some additional defensive minded players in the side. 8 out of 11 defensive players just isn’t enough. I reckon if we bench Scienza and Fellows we should be able to squeeze a couple more centre backs in there.

The Southampton Way™

Yeah a club that has enough spare cash to waste 8mil on a useless lump like damion downs couldn’t find enough money to spend a few mil on a decent championship keeper. Have a day off. It’s all just been incredibly poor decision making

That’s so bad 😂 How can the manager say it was a good game? His comments simply don’t match what we are all watching

Tonda Eckert asked about Daniel Peretz: “When it comes to certain positions, I don't know if I'm the right one to ask. I have an idea and a pair of eyes, but I trust the recruitment department.” The same goalkeeping department that scouted Bazunu, Lumley, Long and a new expensive contract for McCarthy. What could go wrong

Yeah, we’re fucked. The honeymoon period is over and there’s absolutely nothing there, is there. Dunno where we go from here really. Genuinely hoped this season would be better than last season as it’s an easier league etc… but fuck me this club and its shitty tactics have sucked all the fun out of it completely.

Someone had a pop at me on here the other day for using the term “as bad as it gets”. What is the correct term for this pointless, turgid dross?

This is simply absurd. Sticking with this dreadful formation at all costs. Absurd.

Why does our club hate us

Fucking rubbish half. Wish I’d never bothered. It’s fucking freezing as well.

I don’t feel sorry for him. He’s been paid a wedge to completely underperform for years. I feel more sorry for us fans who pay a lot of money to watch that clown let in goal after goal week after week.

Yes how dare we be annoyed that a premier league team is bottom half of the championship. Why don’t you try complaining about the ridiculously shit performances instead of the fanbase?

Dunno why people are pretending it’s hard to field a back 4: McCarthy Jelert THB Stephens Wellington Jander Downes Bragg Fellows Arma Scienza This would be a lot better than anything we’ve put out all season. I guarantee it. (Charles back in for Bragg when he’s fit.)

Tbf, if there’s one thing in this world that you can never trust, it’s an Everton fan on Twitter. Absolute lunatics that lot

Pray for a miraculous January window

Stephens won games at PL level. THB played for England and been promoted twice. Even Edwards was winning games in a back 4 for QPR. There are some absolute dross centre backs in this league playing in back fours that are performing better than ours. I just don’t buy this narrative at all. It’s all about setting the midfield up correctly in front of them. I’d much rather see a 4-3-3 than the turgid mess we are watching personally.

Don’t buy this at all. Look at our squad and compare it with anyone else in this league that is playing better than us with 4 at the back. It’s all down to coaching and set up.
